"The bill, if passed, could result in the killing of people," Mladek wrote. . . .

The government . . . . believes that it is unsuitable for the
Czech Republic to follow the example of the countries where euthanasia
is legal, which the authors of the bill suggest.

"In these countries, cases of clear misuse of euthanasia have been
proved, aimed to vacate hospital beds, as well as cases of family
members pushing for euthanasia for dubious reasons, and also unpunished
cases of the failure to observe the conditions set by law," the
government's preliminary position said.
